Although my office is in Kalispell, I represent clients in Eureka City Court, Lincoln County Justice Court, and Lincoln County District Court on a flat-fee.. Sometimes, a fresh voice helps when you need someone to fight for you. DUI charges in Eureka may be heard in Eureka City Court or Lincoln County Justice Court which is now located in Libby, Montana.

Call me for a free case review and we can generally figure it out. If not, a few phone calls will resolve the issue quickly.

Legal representation throughout the process is vital to protecting your rights when charged with any crime. It is especially important in DUIs which include stiff and long-lasting penalties such as license suspension and mandatory alcohol counseling. Also, remember that no matter where you’re charged with a DUI the laws in Montana remain the same. The escalating penalties for multiple DUIs are the same in City Court as they are in Justice Court. And if you have accumulated four or more lifetime DUIs, you are probably facing felony charges in Lincoln County District Court with a minimum sentence of one year.
